Fill in a school admission form online
Upload the admission pack and DocFilla fills both parents' details, addresses and contact numbers on every page. You add the learner's details, the medical section and sign the indemnity.
Admission packs run to ten pages and ask for both parents' details, the child's details, medical information and an indemnity. DocFilla fills the parent sections from My details and lays out the rest as a short list of questions.

Mistakes people make
- Giving one parent's details where the form asks for both.
- Leaving the medical section blank because the child is healthy. Say 'none' so the school knows it was answered.
- Signing the indemnity but not the fee agreement, or the other way round.
- Forgetting the previous school's transfer card.
Questions about this form
- Can I fill the same pack for two children?
- Yes. Upload it twice and change the learner details on each copy. The parent sections fill themselves both times.
- Can the school send the pack to parents to complete?
- Yes. A school keeps the pack as a DocFilla template and sends each family their own copy; parents complete and sign on their phones and the copy returns to the school.
